This week’s flash fiction challenge over at Carrot Ranch is an intermittent one as Charli is experiencing technical problems. In 99 words (no more, no less) write a poem or story about “buried in the snow”. If you like to read or write flash fiction, please join us, we have a lot of fun.
Snow, snow, go away
Never come back
JUST GO AWAY!
We were hoping for a break this year
But oh no you had to bury us here
The drifts and banks are five feet tall
To top it off, dozens of squalls
Blizzards and whiteouts, you give freely
Give us a break, what’s the big dealy
I hear you’re planning to stay around
My only wish is that you just leave town
Overcast skies without any sun
Makes us unhappy, all we do is bum
The days are so cold
I’m getting old
It seems I’ve lost all control

Love the imagery and cadence of the writing! I love snow, but only when it falls softly and slowly, doesn’t linger, and the temperature doesn’t dip below 30…that’s not asking a lot, is it?

I would enjoy winter’s if that were so. 🙂

I lived most of my life in areas where I never snowed. I had my first white Christmas a few years ago when I moved here. I still get excited when it snows and sad when it melts. The only caveat is that I can’t drive in it.

Driving in the snow can be quite the challenge. I still get nervous driving in the winter.
